Here, Part 3 and last of a series analyzing the transcript of the Senate
Judicial hearing of August 22, 2017, exposes how Barack Obama’s cronies
who profited from the Uranium One deal with Russia aided in concert with
the notorious Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and her bellhop Glenn
Simpson, founder of Fusion GPS and front-man for the CIA forgery known as
the Trump-Russia Dossier. Her objective of a fix on the federal complaint
against Prevezon, a party to the Magnitsky’s arrest and murder, is shown
to have been supported by Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch and Ron Dellums along
with usual suspect Hillary Clinton. Also probed is how two Moldovan bank
accounts set up for a “Mr. Kim”, probably for illegal nuclear and missile
smuggling to North Korea, were used to launder the Prevezon funds, further
implicating Obama’s team in nuclear treachery.

Holes in the Hearing

The extensive pattern of omissions in Simpson’s testimony to
the Senate committee are here filled in with facts of the case,
along with the background of collaboration with the Putin Kremlin by
the Obama-Holder-Clinton cabal. In this new light, forgery known as
the Trump-Russia Dossier was created to distract public attention
from prosecutor Preet Bharara’s sabotage of the Prevezon
money-laundering case in Manhattan federal court.

The phony Russiagate scandal is then shown to be an extension
of the cover-up of the Uranium One shipments to the Russian nuclear
industry. Intriguingly, Prevezon’s money-laundering, defended by its
lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, was connected with Pyongyang’s
clandestine payment for the smuggling of nuclear materials and
missile technology from Ukraine to North Korea via Moldova.

The shady international uranium dealings approved by President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton account for why,
even after his departure to California, Attorney General Eric Holder
has cast a long shadow over the Department of Justice and FBI,
keeping an eagle eye over the illicit production of the Trump-Russia
Dossier and aiding the Kremlin’s femme fatale Veselnitskaya.
Holder’s aim was to divert voter attention from the Clinton’s
illegal collaboration with the Kremlin by smearing the Trump
campaign team for its meeting with a mysterious Russian lawyer in
June 2016, which proved to be a set-up all along by the Democrats.

Lynch Law

Holder’s successor Loretta Lynch personally authorized a
special entry visa for Veselnitskaya and tolerated her overstay to
defend Prevezon Holdings, the Moscow company implicated in the
looting of Hermitage Capital as a part of a massive tax fraud.
Hermitage CEO William Browder had retained auditor Sergei Magnitsky
to probe the value-added tax (VAT) fraud at the Russian Federal
taxation agency. Magnitsky’s uncovering of an “inside job” involving
high-ranking revenue officials led to his imprisonment, beatings and
death behind bars.

The loot from the tax theft, more than $200 million, was
laundered through a web of foreign banks, and some of that stolen
money was used by Prevezon boss Denis Katsyn to purchase luxury
apartments near Wall Street. Browder filed a lawsuit in New York for
recovery of $30 million confiscated from Hermitage accounts in
Moscow by “fake” tax officials. His complaint was delayed and
finally settled in what now appears to be a further criminal plan to
freeze the funds by Obama lackeys in league with the Kremlin to
defraud Browder, who is castigated by the pro-Russian left as the
grandson of a renegade. Involvement of Obama appontee Preet Bharara,
the federal attorney who constantly tweet-taunted candidate
then-president Trump, orchestrated this perversion of justice.

In contrast with the harsh treatment of Browder, Lynch’s DOJ
team rolled out the red carpet for Veselnitskaya, even covering her
luxury hotel fees in New York over many months at taxpayers’
expense, to ensure the Kremlin’s silent cooperation over the
Clintons’ uranium dealings with the Putin regime, as only partly
disclosed so far in the Uranium One scandal.

Retired congressman Ron Dellums (Oakland, CA) acted as
Holder’s surrogate in guiding Veselnitskaya through Capitol Hill,
introducing her to several ranking politicians. His Russia-friendly
contacts included Rep. French Hill from Little Rock, Arkansas, the
dynastic turf of the Stephens family of financiers, the patrons of
the Clintons. Stepens Inc. is the financial adviser to Walmart, long
seeking entry into the Russian consumer market, and Tyson Foods
aiming to resume its meat exports, not the foul chicken rejected by
Russians but beef for borscht, burgers and steak.

The smuggling of cocaine through Mena airfield, at the edge of
the Ozarks, the Stephens clan’s home turf, provided the massive
funding from the start of Bill Clinton’s political career up to the
Stop Trump movement. Their ability to evade justice for decades is
due not only to the Clintons but also to their patronage of the
“Dark Side” of the CIA. For the official record Dellums reported
being paid $5,000 in consultant fees by Veselnitskaya, although
logic says either Fusion GPS or Eric Holder’s slush fund forked over
a lot more cash under the table for his liaison work.

The Kremlin’s Femme Fatale

To divert potential fallout over his administration’s suspect
Uranium One transfers to Russia, the sitting president ordered his
Obama For America (aka Organizing For Action) campaign fund to issue
$700,000 in payment to Simpson’s team at Fusion GPS for secret
surveillance on Team Trump. This huge budget apparently also covered
Velenitskaya’s free-spending junket, since she paid only $50,000 to
Fusion GPS, while hosting nightly dinner parties in New York and
assisting the HRAGI front-group to lobby for an end to sanctions to
allow American adoption of Russian orphans, one of the lowest blows
to come out of this affair resonating with Pizzagate. President
Putin, sir, why not put some of those ill-gotten gains toward
vocational education for orphans to work honestly in underpopulated
Russia’s agricultural and industrial sector instead of pushing them
onto known pedophile and child-porn rings?

Her mission as a visiting lawyer, with aid from Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, was to block a money-laundering lawsuit in
federal court against Prevezon Holdings, the Russian company owned
by Denis Katsyv involving in looting Hermitage Capital, client of
auditor Sergei Magnitsky. The probe into Russia’s biggest-ever
criminal overseas funds-transfer, was defused by Holder’s loyal
henchmen at DOJ, which carried out the Kremlin’s wishes by settling
the Prevezon Holding’s money-laundering case with a mere $6 million
fine just the day before that case was to heard in court in a gross
perversion of justice.

Why did Browder settle? Because the deck was stacked against
him. Velelitskaya had by then lined up all the testimony on Capital
Hill, from the Obama White House and of course her own embassy to
support Prevezon, thanks to the deceptive propaganda from Glenn
Simpson and his media contacts at Bloomberg, WSJ, NYT and the rest.

Moldovan Intoxication

Below laid out as simply as possible is an outline of how the
embezzled and stolen funds were routed by Katsyv’s mafia associates
and dirty bankers through a Byzantine maze into British-run offshore
tax havens (note the UK routing, in regard to MI-6 agent Christopher
Steele) and to the New York property acquisition by Prevezon.

The inter-bank transfers moved through Chisinau, Moldova, into
dummy business accounts set up to receive funds from a “Mr. Kim”,
likely the late Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il (who died in 2011),
apparently for secret purchases of nuclear materials and missile
technology from next-door Ukraine. In other words, Prevezon under
the protection of Obama-Holder-Clinton was also engaged in supplying
warheads and missile parts for the rapid upgrade of North Korea’s
strategic warfare program aimed at the United States, including
Hawaii. When Honolulu is nukded, the Waikiki beachboys can thank
local hero Barry O’Bomber.

An Ill-informed Supplier of Dirt

Now, here’s a look at the skimpy admissions at the Senate
Judicial hearing from Fusion GPS boss Glenn Simpson about his
Russian client Denis Katsyv, the owner of Prevezon:

- Glenn Simpson said to Senate counsel Patrick Davis: “My lane
was records, discovery, William Browder’s business practices, his
activities in Russia, his history of avoiding taxes.’ (p.33). Thus,
his research materials to discredit his assigned target Browder were
gathered from newspaper archives and “public” data such as bank
records and tax reporting hacked by his collaborator Nellie Ohr’s
Open Source Works, a cyber intercepts bureau at the CIA.

- His source on the Russian crime and punishment is Edward Baumgartner,
based on “his ability to interface with the court system in Russia”, which
implies insider connections with Russian law enforcement and prosecutors.
(p.39) Interface could also be used here as a polite term for computer hacking.
“He runs a consulting company like me.” The unlisted Edward Austin company
specializes in Ukrainian and Russian translation for litigation. In this
context, the lack of public access could indicate that company to actually
be a desk in Langley or down in the basement of the RFK building or FBI
Hoover headquarters. Baum (tree) gartener: so evocative of John LeCarre’s
“The Constant Gardener”, a perfect nom de plume in a work of fiction.

- “The client’s (Prevezon) explanation for its response to the
(U.S.) government’s original allegation (of looting and stealing
corporate seals from Browder’s Hermitage Capital office) was that
they originated with an organized crime figure in Russia who had
been extorting them (Katsyv family of Prevezon) and who they had
reported to the police and who had been convicted and jailed for
blackmailing them (as stated in the Justice Department complaint).”
Note: Anyone who has an inkling about the Magnitsky case are aware
of the Moscow police habit of doing a cover-up by silencing innocent
victims in prison.

- “The allegations originated from Russian mobster Demetri
Baranovsky, who was jailed for running a shakedown operation in
which he posed as an anti-corruption campaigner for the purpose of
extorting money from people by accusing of some kind of corrupt
activities. . . . We were able to ascertain that Mr. Baranovsky was,
in fact, associated with Russia’s biggest organized crime family,
the Solntsevo Brotherhood, the dominant mafia clan in Moscow. . . .
We found some indications that Baranovsky was a lieutenant of this
organized crime family . . . Baumgartner helped with that . . . .
because of his ability to interface with the court system in
Russia.” So Fusion GPS runs with the Kremlin fantasy that there was
never any heist.

This is the view from a parallel universe. (I have nothing
personal against Vladimir Putin, especially his resistance to
foreign aggression, but his stance on this obvious fraud is
disappointing to say the least, especially when honesty would serve
him better.) If the Simpson / “Baumgartner” / Velenitskaya version
of Magnitsky is accepted: then the Russian police and tax inspectors
never raided Hermitage Capital offices in Moscow, confiscated
company seals and documents, for assaulted staffers, absconding with
more than $30 million in assets. That would mean his consulting
auditor Sergey Magnitsky cooked the book to make false allegations
of bribery demands and tolerance of corrupt business practices of
Putin cronies. Therefore British-(American) fund-manager William
Browder concocted the biggest hoax in financial history. This absurd
scenario avoids the obvious question: Why would he destroy his own
company, his grub stake in a country idolized by this paternal
family?

The View through Rose-tinted Glasses

Or, possibly, Simpson’s view through cracked rose-tinted
glasses might be out of sync with real field work. His perspective
of the larger world, self-admittedly, is through newspaper archives
and the microfiche viewer instead of experience from the rigors of
humint. His knowledge, or ignorance, of the terrain was disclosed
when he claimed that the Republic of Kalmykia, where Browder
registered his businesses inside Russia, borders on Mongolia,
implying that it is an outlaw haven.

The Kalmyk homeland is located in Europe on the western bank
of the Volga, south of Volvograd-Stalingrad, on the northern shore
of the Caspian, along the steppe north of the Caucasus region.
Kalmykia is famous because its former president Kirsan Ilyumzhino
was head of the FIDE world chess association, its ethnic community
in New Jersey descended from the pro-Nazi Kalmyk Kavalier Korps
(KKK), and because Vladimir Lenin’s maternal family were of
Kalmyk-Buddhist descent. The Kalmyks were descended from Genghis
Khan’s Golden Horde, which is their Mongol connection. As for biz
registration, Kirsan enforced strict anti-corruption rules,
transforming the nation of shepherds and ranchers into a model of
ethical propriety and legal compliance, which was what attracted
Browder to the region. His problems arose in Moscow not on the
pleasant pastures of Kalmykia.

The Brotherhood

Simpson was correct to point out that Dmitro Baranovsky was
found guilty of extortion related to Prevezon by the Basmanny
District Court in central Moscow in 2012 for an alleged $22.5
million extortion demand on Prevezon’s Denis Katsyv, Moscow region
transport minister Pyotor Katsyv (father of Denis) and their
co-conspirators Alexander Altuna of Sberbank and stock-market
director Vladimir Katasin. Baranovsky was sentenced to an 8-year
sentence in a Siberian prison colony.

As deputy director of the anti-corruption group “Combat the
Brotherhood”, it is irrelevant as to whether Baranovsky was a
legitimate reformer or a con artist, because in either of those two
scenarios he squeezed Prevezon for the sole reason that it was
guilty of stealing VAT tax funds along with the assets of Hermitage
Capital upwards of $22.5 million dollars, or $30 million according
to Browder, whichever.

Prevezon is a recent addition to the Katsyv properties, a
Cyprus-based front ocused on the real estate business, a convenient
cover to move millions in laundered money to foreign shores. The
vehicle-and-transport relationship of the Solntsevskaya Brata, run
by Semion Mogilevich, to the Katsyv family offers insights into why
Prevezon wanted to move out of the reach of the Brotherhood (which
has a stronghold in Atlanta, in the U.S. state of Georgia.)

The Slav nationalist crime group, comprised of Ukrainians and
Russians, is based in the Soltsevo district of Moscow along the
M-KAT highway from the Black Sea ports of Ukraine and near the
Vnukovo Airport, used heavily for air cargo. During the perestroika
era, the Slav toughs won a bloody battle with the Chechen mafia for
control of that urban area’s lucrative import trade in used cars and
stolen vehicles, gaining control of the roadway from Odessa to
Moscow.

The availability of luxury vehicles, vintage or slightly used
stolen, enabled a rising official in the metro bureaucracy to became
the Moscow region transport minister, Pyotr Katsyv. With first pick
of foreign-makes, heestablished a VIP chauffeur service with 600
drivers, as well asthe Moscow Hub transport center, and become vice
president of Russian Railways, the nation’s second-largest
state-owned company.

As for the gritty realities of the logistics sector,
everywhere around the world, truck hijacking, car-jacking and
pilferage of cargo are a universal problem for businesses seeking
prompt delivery of intact goods. Tough men are employed as
“detectives” or more robust muscle to deter gangsters and assorted
lowlife from a career of highway robbery. To deter a young aspirant
from hot-wiring another Mercedes, the best insurance policy is to
break his legs. Therefore, unlike street-corner thugs, the Brata or
Brotherhood is a well-organized disciplined hierarchy that maintains
order in the underworld, while using their transport monopoly to
ship drugs, prostitutes and stolen goods to customers. Their tattoo
is an eight-rayed Black Sun, formed with two superimposed ninja
stars.

Now, if Baranovsky was indeed a Solntsevskaya Brata mobster,
why would he bother to raise a public fuss (which is totally
ineffective in Putin’s Russia as shown by Soros’s minions) instead
of permanently retiring the aged transport minister to encourage the
son to paid the agreed-upon sum owed? A demand of $22 is sufficient
to engrave a headstone for an obsolete bureaucrat.

How could Prevezon get past The Brotherhood to move an alleged
$220 million out of Russia as part of a massive VAT skimming
operation involving top taxation department officials? The supposed
sum of $22 million, or one-tenth of the offshore transfer, is just
too convenient, meaning Baranovsky was probably framed by dirty
prosecutors in on the heist. Again, the mob would not organize a
protest when it could simply put a gun to the heads of the father,
son and their wives, and stuff them into the truck of a used Lada
for a vacation by the city landfill. Denis Katsyv would surely
crack.

Into the Black Hole

The logic of crime, law and corruption results in the
implosion of the Simpson-Prevezon alt-universe into a black hole,
sucking in everything including light. Faced with the
undeniable reality of the Hermitage Capital case in the context of
Magnitsky’s investigation into the tax fraud, Obama’s DOJ had no
choice but to accept Browder’s complaint by the New York Southern
district prosecutors and the Manhattan federal court. The problem
was, however, the Kremlin’s leverage on Eric Holder and Loretta
Lynch for their green light on the Uranium One deal.

Operation Eldorado, which nabbed the Prevezon money in New
York, was part of an international police investigation into the
inter-bank routing of that $22 million stolen from the Russian
taxation agency along with the loot from Hermitage Capital through a
labyrinth of foreign banks, including the streams that passed
through Cyprus where Prevezon is registered. Katsyv was then forced
to dump his luxury apartments near Wall Street.

The Manhattan court case was filed by assistant U.S. attorney
Preet Bharara, an Obama-Holder political appointee, who famously
engaged in tweet storms with with the incoming President Trump. His
firing, however, was due to his refusal to accept the order from
Attorney General Jeff Sessions for with remaining district-level
federal attorneys to resign as part of a much-overdue house-cleaning
and reshuffle.

Two days after his resignation, Bharara’s successor Joon Kim
rammed through a $5.9 million settlement, on the day before the
trial was scheduled to begin. The DOJ hailed this rotten deal as a
win-win outcome. The fact is that Veselitskaya had won hands-down
with her checkmate, another frustration for plaintiff Browder.

The delighted liberal news media heaped scorn on William
Browder, a grudge match that goes back to his paternal grandfather,
leader of the pro-Soviet Communist Party (CPUSA) who became a
turncoat by cooperating with the FBI during World War II. The left
has never forgiven or forgotten their No.1 renegade. His
mathematician father was derided by both the left and the right, and
Bill Browder himself left the U.S. and relinquished American
citizenship due to ostracism, moving to London where he partnered
with the controversial private banker Edmond Safra.
The Untouchables

Why was Prevezon and the Katsyvs treated like royalty by the
DOJ-FBI and the Obama administration? Rumored irregularities in the
Uranium One deal, which shipped US.-origin uranium, including
plutonium content, without an export license from Canada to Russia.
Unreported shipments of higher grade uranium were in addition to the
yellow-cake from Russian-owned mines in the U.S. Bill Clinton
received a heavily publicized $500,000 speaking fee from the buyer
Rosatom.

A yet-to-be verified report is the removal of high-level
nuclear hexafluoride (HEX) in unmarked trucks from the DOE-funded
reprocessing facility in Paducah, Kentucky. Plant workers spotted
drivers were speaking a foreign language other than Spanish,
possibly indicating a clandestine removal operation arranged by
transport boss Pyotr Katsyv, who’s since obviously had major
leverage on the Obama regime. Attorney General Eric Holder and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat on the committee that
approved the uranium transfer to Russia at the time when Vladimir
Putin made no secret about this strategic plan for Russia to become
the world’s top nuclear supplier.

Mr. Kim in Moldova

More than $220 million was moved in early 2008 through at least 5
major Russian banks, with a minor share laundered through Latvia, Lithuania,
Estonia and Finland., while another batch flowed into British tax havens.
The larger sum was funneled from the Russian Krainy bank, a subsidiary of
the Alfa group, to the accounts of dummy companies Bunicon-Impex and Elenast
at two banks in Moldova, the transit point. The funds were reportedly for
purchases of toilets and sinks, but instead were channeled onward into Cyprus,
a haven of preference for Russian crooks. The destination was UBS in Switzerland,
into the account of Prevezon, according to the Organized Crime and Corruption
Reporting Project (OCCRP). So try to explain that away, Mr. Simpson and
Sen. Feinstein.

When confronted by revenue agents, Denis Katsyn said the funds held
by a Mr. Petrov for real-estate investments in Moldova, where deposited
into Bunicon and Elenast, accounts which were opened for a “debt repayment”
from a “Mr. Kim.” Kim? Perhaps then Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il, father of
the present regime boss?

There are not many Koreans in Moldova, a small nation of 4.2
Romanian speakers with a common cultural heritage with next-door
Romania. Although politically aligned with the EU and NATO, Moldova
has a special relationship with the Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea (DPRK), through a trade relationship based on the export of
Moldovan wine to malnourished North Koreans. The only affluent
market for this fine alcoholic product in the vicinity of North
Korea is Beijing, where nary a drop is available on the massively
stocked shops brimming with cheap Australian and Chilean labels.

On a map of Eastern Europe, landlocked Moldova resembles a fat
grasshopper caught in the open mouth of a large toad, which is
Ukraine, to the east. It gets cheesy now because its capital
Chisinau is near Odessa, the hub of illegal sales of nuclear
materials and missile technology including the Zenit satellite
launcher rocket and the Yushnoye-Yushmash-built Cyclone missile.

Ukraine still supplies missile technology to Russia despite
their military conflict, in blatant disregard for territorial
integrity over financial gain. In exchange, Russia reprocesses
nuclear fuel for the Ukrainian energy industry, a Western concern
that prompted Westinghouse to enter the market until declared
bankrupt by its owner firm Toshiba. Ukraine remains an open market
for Shinzo Abe’s “strategic cooperation” with Kiev on defense
technology and cyber-security, to the South Koreans and the
Israelis, while its small arms bazaar is a shopper’s paradise for
Africans and Arabs.

To get goods past hijackers and road blocks into Moldova for customer
Kim, the key is logistical security along roadways since every shipment
to a port, railhead or air-cargo hangar is hauled by truck. Now that’s a
job for experienced transporters, preferably Ukrainians and Russians, trained
and supervised by the Katsyv family, those hale fellows well met in the
Solntsevskaya Bratva aka The Brotherhood.

By the slightest 3 degrees of separation under the Black Sun, the
Obama-Holder-Hillary gang are connected via Prevezon/Bratva to Mr. Kim’s
pyrotechnics productions. Hawaiians, in Obama’s home state, have a lot to
look forward to on the Fourth of July, if not sooner.

Keeping up with the Kims and Katsyvs, sadly for their nemesis Bill
Browder, is never guaranteed, they being clever tightwads. The $5.9 million
court settlement in New York, arranged by Preet Bharara, never came through
to Browder, because the Prevezon money is frozen by banking authorities
in chocolate-loving corrupt Belgium, the original Pizzagate nation in the
headquarters of the EU and NATO. The system is rigged.

Different Rules for High Rollers

The flaunting of local and international laws on money-laundering
by the Katsyvs and Velenitskaya vindicate Sergei Magnitsky for his claim
of systematic fraud with high-level collusion from within a “reformist”
regime. The accountant never realized that self-righteous Western governments
were in on the scam. If the Putin regime has been so determined to reform
the Russian system with strict new rules, why did the Kremlin abet the flagrant
criminality of the Katsyns? As in most countries with a high-profile foreign
strategy, there is a two=tier policy on capital flight.

Ordinary citizens, your average Tom, Dirks and Igors, are
discouraged and heavily punished for transferring small sums out of
the homeland, as shown in the Obama Treasury’s FATCA
regulations, which makes it nearly impossible for small-timers to
open or keep business accounts in non-US banks abroad. Meanwhile,
hedge funds and corporations like Apple and Microsoft, with the army
of accountants and lawyers, can move money anywhere on the globe
without complaint from the Treasury.

In contrast to the hoi polloi, wealthy insiders and former
bureaucrats or intelligence officials who perform those unsavory
tasks to advance foreign policy, for example “unofficial aid” to the
Mr. Kims and other rogues, their dirty work of character
assassination of critics and lobbying to sunset sanctions is not
only tolerated but quietly encouraged. After being caught by
regulators, a few bank officials receive a slap on the hand for
failing to spot the money laundering, but they’re soon hired by
another bank with an understanding sympathetic smile.

Globalism’s Crooked Elite

For all its efforts to deny the Magnitsky accusations of
official complicity in tax theft, Moscow isn’t doing anything about
crooks useful to the state that Washington, London or Paris hasn’t
done, except on a smaller scale. Money laundering by insiders is a
component of “selective globalism”, tolerated whenever useful for
politicians and diplomats even those who posture as nationalists, as
shown in the Trump administration’s laxity toward those
lavish-spending Russian-style sneaks, the Kushners, whereas studious
small-time clean-cut American lad Carter Page who aspired to be an
international policy player was snuffed and scapegoated as fall guy
for the Beltway partners of the Kremlin after their bogus
accusations in the Trump-Russia Dossier.

Lesson: In politics, there’s no such thing as a level playing
field, or to paraphrase Napoleon Bonaparte: “Fairness is a word
found only in the lexicon of losers.”

America’s Jewish-owned news media that so eagerly supported
the Magnitsky Act then turned around to hail the Kremilin-run
Prevezon-Fusion team’s gem called the Trump-Russia Dossier. Thus
Bloomberg, NYT, WSJ, Reuters, NBC and others on the Simpson paid
planted-story list proved to be as consistent in principle as a
Kosher pork chop.

In this black comedy, the tragic figure of Sergey Magnitsky
who died for his belief in personal integrity and fiscal
accountability will hopefully someday become the ethical standard
for fiscal propriety. Meanwhile, as for William Browder, following
his grandfather’s sojourn inside Russia, he should have realized
before starting out to make it rich in Russia that the only game for
a foreigner, even someone with his background and connections, in
the casino called Moscow is Russian roulette. Bang!
